I'm happy to be back behind the microphone for a new project, my . Breadbox Media has been around for a few years in different formats, but the team there is now at work assembling an impressive team of podcasters that includes , , , and many more great shows (and now me!). I'm still getting organized with the show, but in my inaugural episode on Breadbox, I share a chat with Pete Socks, the kind soul who reached out to me about being a part of Breadbox. I've been looking for a way recently to do interviews and share content, but with some support of the massive amount of production time involved. I'm hopeful that being a part of Breadbox will make it possible to take you along with me on my travel adventures, share the terrific people I meet and interact with, and offer you the latest tips on new movies, fresh books and whatever else pops into my inbox.

As an avid podcast listener, I've been hankering for a return the world of audio conversations. What always trips me up is the amount of time it takes to accomplish "post-production" on podcasts. So I've decided to forego complications and simply try to record a weekly Facebook Live conversation that will be shared "as is", stumbles and all. Today's interview with my dear friend Maria Morera Johnson is the first of what I hope will be many such chats. The occasion for our visit is the launch of Maria's awesome new book Super Girls and Halos: My Companions on the Quest for Truth, Justice, and Heroic Virtue. But as you'll discover when you watch or listen to this episode, any chance to talk with Maria is simply a fun visit with a dear friend.
